Lady Is my heart and soul. She was my first crested, she came to be my junior handling dog when I was only 15 but that didn't work out too well since she was a year and a half old and not properly socialized so was very frightened just taking her to classes so the ring wasn't an option for her but she did help me learn how to "handle" a difficult dog in a show atmosphere and I know that she wouldn't have been happy in the show ring anyways. Lady loves doing obedience and agility although we have not attempted an actual competition yet, only for fun in the back yard. Lady is THE best dog ever at seven years old she is still so patient with my son and puts up with alot of crap from the others (although my son is past the whole hair pulling stage) but she is just the best and I know as my son grows up he will have a lasting friendship with Lady for all the days of her life!
